great bet." josh: "when you look at the games that manning's done well this year, he's had a couple of weeks off before that. the packers, before the playoffs. so when he's fresh he's a different quarterback." steve: "correct, he just needs some rest. and this is what he's got going into this game. and the broncos running game, hillman, cj anderson. i think that's good. you know, demaryius thomas has got to catch the ball though. you know he can't have the drops in this game. but weather's not going to be a factor here from everything i've heard, it's not like it's going to be cold or snowing like it was in new york. and again, the broncos have the best defense in the nfl. and to give me six points; who would have thought the broncos would be a six point underdog?" josh: "cam newton has been incredible this year, but he's still a young quarterback. you look at what the broncos did to tom brady, brady was confused. i haven't seen brady like that, maybe ever. imagine what they can possibly do to cam newton." steve: "yeah, and cam newton had a great season. i mean, he should be the mvp. i'm not sold that they are the best team."

best defense does well in the super bowl. the 85 bears, the ravens; seattle a couple of years ago against the broncos. give me a great defense, i like my chances. steve: "right and you look at it, matt ryan for the falcons beat this panthers team. i would rather have peyton manning and the number one defense than matt ryan." josh: "alright, that's the pick. the broncos plus six against carolina. alright thanks steve, not sold that they are the best team." josh: "historically the best defense does well in the super bowl. the 85 bears, the ravens; seattle a couple of years ago against the broncos. give me a great defense, i like my chances. steve: "right and you look at it, matt ryan for the falcons beat this panthers team. i would rather have peyton manning and the number one defense than matt ryan." josh: "alright, that's the pick. the broncos plus six against carolina. alright thanks steve, it's been a good year. those are your nfl picks, we'll see you again next season." us, as always, is steve mikkelson from the atlantis race and sports book. steve you're taking my team and i love it! the broncos, plus six, against the panthers." steve: "yes, my view on
